Randall Gay sat out Saints practice for a second straight day Saturday with a cold, but should be ready for the Super Bowl, according to coach Sean Payton.

The Saints concluded their practice work for the weak with a quick walkthrough practice. Gay is one of the team's extra defensive backs and figures to get plenty of snaps against the Colts' pass-heavy attack. He watched practice from the sideline Saturday.

Fourth running back Lynell Hamilton sat out the walkthrough as well; he hasn't practiced all week and looks unlikely to play.

Saints coach Sean Payton cut back Thursday's practice about 20 minutes from the previous day and it was by design. He also limited team drills to eight snaps while also interspersing some special teams' work between offense and team defensive work.

Once again, the only key player who didn't participate in practice was running back Lynell Hamilton . However, Hamilton, a stout special teams' player and short-yardage runner, did some jogging on his sore left ankle under the eyes of the training staff.

"He's feeling better," Payton said of Hamilton. "I'm hopeful of him playing."

But that means for the second straight day, he was practicing, back-to-back workouts that he didn’t do last week.

The Saints received good news on the injury front Friday, when CB Malcolm Jenkins (hamstring), FS Darren Sharper (knee) and LB Jonathan Vilma (knee) all returned to practice, albeit in limited fashion.

Jenkins didn’t play in last weekend’s NFC Championship Game, but he’s listed as questionable for next weekend’s Super Bowl against the Colts. Sharper and Vilma, who did play last weekend, also are questionable for the Super Bowl.

The Saints held their third consecutive practice without TE Jeremy Shockey (knee), DE Will Smith (groin), CB Randall Gay (foot) and RB Lynell Hamilton (ankle). All four are listed as questionable on the injury report.

Jeremy Shockey was one of eight players who did not practice Thursday as the New Orleans Saints got back to work for the first time this week. The others were safety Darren Sharper (knee), cornerback Randall Gay (foot), cornerback Malcolm Jenkins (hamstring), linebacker Jonathan Vilma (knee), defensive end Will Smith (groin), tailback Lynell Hamilton (ankle) and kick returner Courtney Roby (knee).

Offensive tackle Zach Strief (shoulder) was limited. Everyone else fully participated.

It's still too early to read much into the Saints' injury list, which is longer than usual. Coach Sean Payton said it's partly to give some extra rest to guys with the game still 10 days away.

"We're trying to look closely like we always do," Payton said. "I think a little bit is based off the fact that we backed off a few of these guys. We'll continue to rehab and get the treatment they need and progress here as we get closer."

Sharper and Vilma, in particular, have been getting some occasional days off late in the season to rest lingering knee soreness. Smith's injury doesn't appear to be serious, either. The other five players could remain questionable into next week, though.
